Pros

- great place to network in the finance industry - relatively easy to gain responsibility fast - can be close to important projects - can gain a high level of "tech" skills if wanted - firm quadrupled in size in 2.5 years :: great to be a part of .. will continue to grow like that in next 2-3 years.

Cons

- lousy package (20 days holiday; 22 after 2 years service .. no pension .. no dental) - results-driven enterprise without results driven salary for those below director level - utterly abused job title system (analyst / associate / VP / Director / MD) ... people rarely join as analyst, so associates with experience are aggrieved. Some have to fight for VP, others get it handed to them. - Generally, a great place to be if you were there before 2005 and got loads of cheap equity options, otherwise it's no more than 150 options per year for VP and below, that are underwater - CEO still insists that the firm has an equity focused culture. Complete rubbish for ~70% of employees.

Pros

A technology company so far behind that there is always interesting projects going on. In the past year executive leadership seems to have some focus and it does not feel like organization ADD. Benefits are very competitive.

Cons

A very consistent pattern of RIF's every few months. It is interesting that it is not always the lower performers, be very careful expressing an opinion for progress to middle management or you will very likely find yourself on the next RIF list. This is a management team that thinks they know it all. There are very few examples of leaders in this group, most are bosses, will make sure to tell you how to do the job. If you are coming in make sure to get a very good understanding of the expectation of role and responsibilities. If you are skilled you will be taken advantage of and asked to contribute at higher grade levels but performance and advancement is very subjective and there is no transparency in organizations like IT about what it takes to move to next levels. Unless of course you are playing that middle management stroking feathers game right..
